Teen beating victim can only write her name

Tuesday

Video shows a teen beating victim writing her name, but the 15-year-old Florida girl continues to struggle with life.

A South Florida nonprofit has been working to help rehabilitate Josie Lou Ratley. National Voices for Equality, Education and Enlightenment released the video of her activities on Monday.

The video shows Ratley trying to write out the alphabet two months ago, but the letters came out illegible. Now, she can clearly write the letters of her first and last name.

It's been five months since Ratley was attacked at Deerfield Beach Middle School. Authorities have charged 15-year-old Wayne Treacy in the beating. He's in jail awaiting trial on a charge of attempted first-degree murder. Treacy has pleaded not guilty.
